The best part about Godzilla: Minus One was that it barely needed to have Godzilla in it. The movie could have thrived if Godzilla had just been in his first scene, and never reappeared again. It would have been enough! I was in! I was hooked! The movie had me fully involved!
And then it just decided to throw Godzilla back in, which somehow made it even better.
Great Eastern Entertainment has released a Godzilla plush based on the King of the Monsters' appearance in Godzilla Singular Point. The 10" cuddle monster will cost you $99.99. I have no idea why it's so expensive, but shipping is free with the code WINTER79.
I am so happy that the Godzilla: Minus One team won their Oscar but oh my god. Looking up the pictures of them at the Oscars is just filling me with joy because they are so happy!
They all brought a Godzilla figure with them (Takashi Yamazaki has been bringing one with him to various events, and even gifted one to Steven Speilberg, who saw the film three times and told Yamazaki how much he loved it!) But seeing as tonight was a special occasion for them all, Yamazaki brought a very special Godzilla with him - one that was dressed to the nines with his own bow tie!
But if that wasn’t incredible enough, the crew took it one step further by even dressing in the fashion of the big guy himself. They all walked the red carpet dressed to impress - especially with their own Godzilla styled shoes.
This is the first time in history that a Japanese Godzilla movie has even received an Oscar nomination, let alone win one. But with Godzilla: Minus Ones well deserved win, we see Japans first visual effect winner at the Oscars in history! And in my opinion, it’s one which is very much deserved.
To me, this is perhaps the best win of the night — so many people are loving it to see an icon from their childhood, one which brings so many fond memories of watching with family and friends, win big at this event. Godzilla movies have been with many their whole lives — the first airing in 1954 in Japan, just years after the Second World War and acting as a commentary on nuclear weapons during a time where Japan was very much recovering from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings — so it is no surprise why people are loving this win so much.
Is it too much to ask that we stop taking stabs at the MonsterVerse movies just to put Minus One on a pedestal? It's good, don't get me wrong, but I don't think I need to remind you all that Takashi Yamazaki LIKES the MonsterVerse Godzilla.
